Edmonds, Director, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and Diann McCoy, Deputy Director, Center for Software (Excellence) kicked off the second annual Ada Dual-Use Workshop at the Sheraton Premiere at Tyson's Corner in Vienna, Virginia. Speakers following them were Harry Quast, Vice President of CACI, and Donald J. Reifer, Chief, Software Initiatives Office. General sessions were followed by panel participant briefings. These provided participants with an opportunity to give their views on how DoD could best develop strategies to promote the commercial use of Ada. Participants included representatives from government, academia, and commercial communities. A result of the previous conference held in 1993 was the Ada Dual-Use Program, whose primary objective is to increase the use of the Ada programming language in defense, academia, and commercial sectors. This year's workshop presented a forum to review progress toward implementing that plan and to refine the future direction of the Ada Dual-Use Program. One comment regularly heard was that much of the work called for at the first workshop had been accomplished or a very successful start made in the intervening year.
